It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

This could be a night comparable to 2001 when England went to Germany and won....Germany still got to the final the following year...mind you....England have to hold on to this...probably need one more goal....to be sure....

I'm sure Dil is enjoying this...and I know he's a secret England fan but won't admit it....

Superb win by England tonight....shame we didn't win in Croatia....because it'll be a job to pip the Spanish to winning this group....

“Anyone remember when England last won a game ?”

...yeah tonight 😂😂😂

When was Wales last win?

Last month Stan.

Good win by England and also good to see no Ashley Young playing. Playing Barkley is also a positive as England were crying out for a bit of flair in the midfield at the WC.

Jack Grealish is another player they should be looking at.

We got no Bale or Ramsey tonight so effectively no team. Hope Giggs gives one of the youngsters a chance and doesn't pick ypthat clown Vokes who isn't really Welsh anyway.

The only player that has been scoring for Wales and his club Burnley lately Super Sam...and what does sick note do he drops him...Taxi for Giggs 😂

Giggs got it right tonight.

Picked players in their right positions and dropped the English clown in favour of match winner Harry Wilson.

First competitive game since Ramsey made his debut 10 years ago that we've been without him and Bale.

Beat Denmark home in November and we get promoted plus through to play offs.

Nice of Cardiff City boy Arter to give away the free kick we scored from , he knows what's good for him :-)

We won Stan how did you get on ?

Fulham spent 100 million in the summer and looked half as good as they did last season.

Liverpool away next week , I'm feeling lucky !

“We won Stan how did you get on ?”...We didn’t but make the most of your win as you won’t get many more this season if any 😜

“Liverpool away next week,I’m feeling lucky!”...feeling pi**ed more like it 😂

Well well it’s approaching that time of the year again Dil and as I have been particularly generous to you and your team over the year I expect you are wondering what you would like to buy me for Xmas. https://www.burnleyexpress.net/news/no-substitute-for-game-changing-new-clarets-book-1-9292389

Thank you so much in advance 😂

Your getting the same this year as you got last year :-)

Well there’s a turn up😎

Cardiff no longer favourites to finish bottom having been replaced by Huddersfield but remain odds on for relegation.

33/1 widely available for Cardiff to beat Liverpool this afternoon , fill your boots we haven't lost for three weeks !

RIP Leicester owner - one of those in the great owner camps as opposed to so many clubs

What a legacy he's left behind

Sad news from a 4th world Principality https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46074539

Great program on the telly last night about the life of Bobby Moore.

10/10

Sir Alf Ramsey: 'If people say England would not have won the World Cup without me as manager, I can say it would have been impossible without Bobby Moore as captain. He was the heartbeat of the team in 1966. He was my right-hand man, my lieutenant on the field, a cool calculated footballer I could trust with my life.'

Brian Clough: 'He did our game proud. He brought it grace and elegance. I wish I could have woenis Law: 'He was an immaculate defender who did not need to foul to win the ball. I don't think he kicked a player intentionally in his life. He was a good tackler but rarely needed to because he picked up the ball before you could get to it.'

Sir Alex Ferguson: ‘Moore was the finest defender I have ever seen’

George Best: ‘I remember I once scored a hattrick against West Ham and I half sold him a dummy, that was the only time I ever got anything out of him, I should have hated him instead of loving him’

Franz Beckenbauer: ‘Bobby Moore was the greatest defender in the history of the game, Bobby was my football idol. I looked up to him. I was so proud to have played against him.'’

Pele: ‘Bobby Moore — he defended like a lord. Let me tell you about this man. When I played, I would face up to a defender, I would beat him with my eyes, send him the wrong way; I would look one way and then go the other. Defenders would just kick me in frustration. They would foul me because they couldn't stop me, or because I would confuse them with my movement. I would move my eyes, my legs or my body, but not always the ball. They would follow my move, but not Bobby, not ever. He would watch the ball, he would ignore my eyes and my movement and then, when he was ready and his balance was right, he would take the ball, always hard, always fair. He was a gentleman and an incredible footballer.

Jock Stein : ‘There should be a law against him, he knows what’s going to happen 5 minutes before anyone else on the pitch.’

Sir Bobby Charlton: ‘Bobby Moore is England's icon, and rightly so, He could both read what was going to happen before it actually did.
'It was beautiful to look at him when he played. Nobody tackled him. He just oozed class. 'He was just a brilliant defender, probably cultured is the right word. If he had to speed up a little bit he could easily do it.
If you were lucky enough to play with him, or against him, he was a fantastic player.

Stan of Money AM: I agree in general of the sentiments expressed above but Little Johnny Price (only about 5ft 4 inches tall) who was making his debut for Burnley in their midweek game at Upton Park in the early 60s ran Bobby Moore ragged all night, no one had seen anything like it.

Inscription on his statue at Wembley Stadium ‘Immaculate footballer. Imperial defender. Immortal hero of 1966. First Englishman to raise the World Cup aloft. Favourite son of London's East End. Finest legend of West Ham United. National Treasure. Master of Wembley. Lord of the game. Captain extraordinary. Gentleman of all time’

Can't argue with those thoughts from some football giants.

Stan , if she's prepared to use the same changing facilities and showers as the boys then let her play.

Oh Dil your so 18th century.. and what about post 6606 -):
